The Yoga Vasistha Maharamayana of Valmiki
1898
4. flhe utterance of kis Oabira shook the seat of his in Hoot la the cranium ; and reached to the seat of the pure soul in the topmost part of his head. [...] The internal airs filled the lungs and the cavity of the heart ; as when the waters of the sea run towards and roll into the whirlpool. [...] But his reason soon returned to him and made him shape off his sleepiness as the winds disperse the clouds and as the snake inhales the air; and as the elephant devours the lotus bush and the sunlight dispels the darkness of night. [...] " It is the desire of fruition only which is the main object of riches and meritorious acts; and the greatest of our enjoyments is.the company of fairy damsels ; as the flowers and fruits are the desired products of the vernal season." 83. [...] It is the activity and inactivity of the mind which are said to be the sole causes of the restlessness and quietness of men as also of their fixed meditation and want of its fixity : therefore destroy the germs of thy rising desires.
